Letter to the editor: Obama is in a can't win situation

President Obama cannot win, no matter his decision on Syria or any number of issues facing our country. Since he is now seeking congressional approval for an air strike on Syria, he is criticized for not being decisive. When he was looking for support from our allies, he was viewed by some as too aggressive. The truth is, he cannot win.

It appears that the conservatives will beat the drum of incompatibility and incompetence at all costs. Trying to weaken his stance in our country and the world is their misguided goal. They care more about pleasing the loud and angry mob of Obama haters more than they care about their country. It is a mistake that has taken its toll on all of us. This is not how a democracy is supposed to work.

It's time to remind the fanatics that the country belongs to us all. No exceptions.
